Aaliyah is a 25 year old self-published author from Wisconsin. In between drumming up new writing projects and being a single mother, she attends college for a degree in software engineering. With her passion for writing brewing in elementary school came the longing to paint a picture the world could see through the colorful vocabulary sprinkled on the pages of a novel. With the aid of a strange writing ritual, a cup of hot chocolate, and a pen and paper in hand, she aims to silence the voices that keep her awake at night by tucking them away inside the binding of a book.
